- Joey Essex def. Joao “Numeiro” Barbosa via majority decision (37-37, 38-36, 39-37)
This fight was one of the most action-packed, yet amateurish boxing matches you’ll ever watch. Like many of the influencer fights, you have to squint a bit to ignore the rudimentary skills. Hopefully, you can admire the heart that is shown.
There was plenty of heart on display in this one. Essex outfought Barbosa in a fight that had several exciting moments and a referee who was unmistakably bad at his job.
Nonetheless, the right guy got the decision win in a fun fight that I probably never need to see again.
